For students declaring a language major effective fall, 1995, Exit Examinations and Language Proficiency tests will be obligatory, and will be administered in the senior year. There will be no charge for the Exit Examinations nor will these jeopardize a student's graduation. In the event that there is a fee for the Language Proficiency tests, students will have to pay this fee.
